SAG-AFTRA Chief’s Pay Tops $1 Million, Highest Among Hollywood Unions

I am of two minds here. This is a big job for an industry that produces a lot of revenue. That said, I served on some AEA committees in my time. Broadway generates billions and the Executive Director made nowhere near that much.

Curious as to your thoughts on this.

Interesting article, Tom Lapke . Not sure how I feel about this as a longtime SAG-AFTRA member. I do know that the elected positions on the various boards are all volunteer union members. I've got mixed feelings about a union boss making so much when the majority of the membership can't even qualify for health insurance.

Very informative, thank you.

It does seem incongruent with what the members of SAG AFTRA make.
